InterScience,
Inc. has developed a highly sensitive Digital Luminescence
Detection System for rapid screening of luminescent-tagged
biochemical reactions. Applicable to any reaction that produces
luminescence, this digital instrumentation has ultra low-light
detection capabilities, thereby allowing for small sample
sizes while producing results in minimal time. The system
is PC-controlled, and captures digital images which can
be analyzed to accommodate the application of the end user.
This system was initially developed specifically for tuberculosis
screening via luciferase reporter mycobacteriophage (LRM)
biotechnology. However, it has widespread applicability
to any luminescence-based laboratory testing scenario.
